I so wish I blogged every day like I used to on my other blog. By the time I get a chance to blog, there is too much to say and it's too overwhelming to try to get it all down so I have to try to condense everything. Right now, I have a cold. It's not fun. The good news is that I can still smell and taste!!! YEA! When I can't taste, I get grumpy, because life is no fun without yummy food! Lamar is off work all week and I am loving that! Right now he is next to me reading This Present Darkness. We're about to go on a walk. It's 63 degrees outside! It was 15 degrees this time last week! I guess I know why I have a cold...this crazy weather! :)

I love my girls! We had our first annual caroling extravaganza last week. It was so much fun and such a blessing! There were a lot of us!!! We caroled our neighborhood and everyone was so nice...some people took pictures of us, some sang with us, and this one lady got down on her knees, put on a Santa hat, and put her hands out and sang with us. It was so wonderful to see people's reactions. I can't wait to do it again next year.

We opened presents on the night of the 22nd because the girls left early on the morning of the 24th. We were going to open presents on the 23rd but they wanted to do it on the night of the 22nd which was great with us. We had so much fun opening presents. The girls had such fun reactions....especially Ellie, who got an X-BOX 360. She cried...it was so sweet! She screamed, too! HA! :) I have a video. I'll have to post it. :)

Marci came to town which was wonderful, as always! Here we are after Marcicize. :)

Every year mom takes anyone who wants to go to a play. This year the play was It's a Wonderful Life, last year it was Hello Dolly, and the year before that is was The King and I. It's always so much fun to go with the whole family. Here's just a few of us before the play.

And, here we all are at the Rep. We take a picture like this every year.
Last year's picture at the Rep.

HAAAAA!!!! I had to put this on here! My mom, Savannah, and Kathryn doing their hillbilly dances! :)
Well, we're off to go walking! I think we'll take Charlie Bear today...he'll love it!!!

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
